    Envoi Allen has been a great pick for loads of you, including TAPK, who takes the lead, and also Diamond Geezer, who’s got a great star horse on his hands.

    Envoi Allen 26.10

    I’d thought that the would be a new leader after Envoi Allen run, well done TAPK. :good:

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    This comp wont really get going till Cheltenham arrives Neil.. You have an incredible team pal.. I will need both subs to keep me in contention but anyone can win it yet.. Always great fun and thanks to Bobby VTC for keeping so smoothly run. Good luck all. TAPK of old would be the 4/5 fav only because of his legendary status.

    TAPK
    You are 4/6 at Nathbet
    Some were saying how quiet it is on TRF these days
    I told them back in the day
    Posters use to challenge TAPK to duels
    and the loser would be sent packing from the Forum
    TAPK won every time
    Even Gingertipster chickened out on a few occasions

    Those were the days Nath.. I remember feeling like one a those trans atlantic gender fluid sorts at one of Harvey Weinsteins parties when I first joined.. As for daring to call myself TAPK.. The wrath and constant barracking I endured.. Nowadays it would cause ptsd but alas I dared suggest that Art Conneisseur would win the Golden jubilee at 40/1 as an introductory post and well.. The King was born..Having Nathan..”I stare in the face of adversity” Hughes as my wingman encouraged me more.. :yahoo:

    9yrs ago now Bob.. We discussed the Kim muir a couple of months prior to race day and agreed to get on at 16/1..I remember backing him at all prices down to 5/1..He went of 100/30 fav on the day and did a Slip Anchor.. Old Faasel had gone to Pipes yard too and he was available at 66/1 on the morning of the race. Backed into 20s..Funnily enough I was thinking the other day that I could write a book on my Ante-post coups of the past 40 yrs. Nobody in the history of the world has landed so many as me.. It cant be just luck pal.. :yahoo:

    I was surprised that Frodon only got one selection, but he looks a good one for Buckers.

    Very much like Frodon yesterday, I’m surprised that Andy Dufresne and Carefully Selected only got one selection each, but THM and Cian won’t be complaining.

    Andy Dufresne 21.5
    Carefully Selected 21.4

    Great three way tussle at the top, and Defi Du Seuil stretches the lead forcthe top Three, with TAPK still in control.

    Elsewhere Thomas Darby scored for Steve, while I benefited from Ballyandy getting up at the last moment.

    Minella Indo scores for a few of you, including Grey Desire, who scores double.

    Ballyandy 27.9
    Defi Du Seuil 26.8
    Minella Indo 11.30
    Thomas Darby 27.9

    Another nice win for Real Steel today, and a very decent pick from Mark, who’ll be eyeing another big win before the seasons out.

    Real Steel 22.6

    Hi Bob, a couple of questions concerning the transfer window.

    1 If you put your transfer in early and your old horse runs in the intervening time before the new selection starts scoring does it still scores?

    2 The window closes on the 8th of February, do we have to have our transfers in before racing starts on that day, or before racing starts on the next day the 9th?

    Not surprisingly, lots of movement today.

    Rummy is back in front, but GDC and Hot Fuss really bursting out the pack.

    Too many to mention with Paisley Park, Santini and Bristol De Mai, but well done to all of you, including Krypton and Wyldesyde who had Santini as star horse.

    Elsewhere, Tonge got a nice score from Ramses De Teille, while Grass has a nice horse on her hands with Allaho.

    The Big Chase of the day, The Skybet, went to Ok Corral, who was a big scorer for Kev.

    Allaho 11.2
    Bristol De Mai 12
    Ok Corral 35.3
    Paisley Park 51.6
    Ramses De Teille 21.6
    Santini 52
